Frames that fold small screens, connected between them and that adapt to different functions: these are the technical characteristics at the base of the OPPO x nendo prototype, a look at a possible future
by Paolo Corsini published on 15 December 2020 , at 09: 01 in the Telephony channel Oppo
OPPO x nendo is the name of a new generation smartphone prototype that the Chinese OPPO developed in collaboration with the Japanese design studio Nendo. At its base the presence of 4 screens that slide one above the other so as to be folded , with the ‘goal to have a large surface of use available to the user but at the same time compact dimensions once folded.
A sliding phone , we could say, which is positioned as an alternative to the constant growth of the average size of smartphones on the market. At one time smartphones with a screen with a diagonal of more than 5 inches were called phablets, while now a size of 6 inches is almost considered a standard among the models on the market. OPPO x nendo is based on a structure equipped with three hinges, which connect the 4 screens together .
The overall dimensions once closed are comparable to those of a credit card , with obviously a higher thickness. Once opened at the first level a screen is shown, useful for basic information such as time and messages received. At the second opening click, the front camera is activated to be able to take self-portraits, while opening the last level the smartphone is fully extended allowing access to the entire display surface available. There is also a small stylus integrated within the structure of the smartphone, which allows direct interaction with the screens.
It is not known if and when this product will exceed the prototype phase and will be developed into a ready-to-market solution. This is an undoubtedly original and futuristic design but it remains to be understood what the implications will be in terms of usability of use, starting from the user interface up to the hardware integrated into it which must guarantee an adequate level of operating duration with battery.

Recently, OPPO unveiled a concept smartphone with a retractable screen that caused quite a stir. A bold forward-looking form can end up as an idea. It is not certain when and whether the manufacturer will undertake the production of such a device at all. The new OPOO proposal – Slide Phone, for the preparation of the concept, which is the responsibility of the Japanese design studio Nendo acting on behalf of the manufacturer, may also miss the store shelves. Despite the lack of a certain future, I want to introduce you to the topic a bit, because the idea of a device working in as many as seven modes seems extremely useful. What could innovative mobile equipment have to offer if it went on sale?
OPPO Slide Phone is a concept smartphone developed by Nendo studio. The foldable screen of the device can work in as many as seven modes, each of which is responsible for a different function.

Concept projects are not always successful and put into regular sale. Some visions are too crazy. The latest idea of OPPO also seems to be complicated to implement, but it is worth spending a moment about it. The smartphone called “Slide Phone” is characterized by a screen that bends in many places. Thanks to a series of hinges, the user can use the equipment in as many as seven modes, six of which cover part of the screen. This is perfectly illustrated by the video that you will find at the end of the post. What exactly does the innovative form offer?

OPPO Slide Phone can display notifications and the time on a narrow slice screen. After its partial disassembly, it will work as a tool for selfie photos. When fully unfolded, the user has a wide working space, the sides of which can be arranged in various ways, for example using them as game controllers or a panel for mini-applications. The smartphone also works with a stylus and will be perfect as a 7-inch notebook. As you can see, manufacturers are experimenting with innovative forms, looking for real innovations. Let me remind you that a few more years ago we could hardly believe in the concept of folding displays.
(Pocket-lint) – The world of Android phones is very different to the world of Apple phones. Apple aims to give you the same experience across its devices whereas Android embraces variety, with phones from different manufacturers having a very different personality – and different features.
That means personal brand preference plays a big part, aside from the core Android experience. Pricing is hugely competitive, presenting you with a lot of choices.
Here’s our run down of the very best Android phones you can buy and the reasons why they deserve your attention.

OnePlus 8 Pro
squirrel_widget_233185
The OnePlus 8 Pro is undoubtedly the company’s most complete smartphone to date and one of the best Android phones out there. It has a big and brilliant display, long-lasting and fast-charging battery, IP68 waterproofing, a great main and wide-angle camera on the back, plus software that’s fluid and lightweight.
There are a few things that stop this device being perfect – the color filter camera seems like it’s only there for the claim of quad, the telephoto camera isn’t class-leading either and not all will see the benefit of a 120Hz screen.
Overall though, the OnePlus 8 Pro delivers a true flagship experience that offers everything you could want and it’s still less expensive than its big-name competition.

Samsung Galaxy S20+

The Samsung Galaxy S series has long been the flagship series to beat in the Android world. And with Samsung still commanding a sizeable chunk of the market, it’s one that’s easier to recommend buying in 2020.
With the big-name comes a big experience. The awesome display on the front dominates the available space, with the hole-punch camera being only a minor distraction from an otherwise glorious display.
Inside, you get all the power you could wish for, and performance to match. It’s fast, fluid, goes all day and has one of the most versatile cameras available on any smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

The S20 FE joined the S20 family to offer a more affordable entry point to the series. It offers much the same spec and performance as the top models, but makes a few compromises to offer a more attractive price point.
Those are compromises we think are worth taking, because the use of plastic on the rear isn’t a huge loss and the the 1080p display is a great performer with that 120Hz refresh rate.
While there’s no 3.5mm headphone socket, you get microSD, flagship Qualcomm hardware (globally), good speakers and waterproofing.

Oppo Find X2 Pro
squirrel_widget_192445
Oppo has adjusted quickly to the western market. It’s quickly adapted its software to more closely match what the European market prefers from an Android phone, and now, its ColorOS user interface is much better than the mess it used to be.
The Oppo Find X2 Pro has a stunning 120Hz OLED screen that delivers in resolution, color and refresh rate, while the powerful hardware and solid battery innings will take pretty much anything you throw at it. The versatile triple camera system is impressive too, even if night mode can’t beat the competition.
With Huawei’s presence looking more questionable in Europe, it looks as though Oppo has come out fighting to take that spot in the flagship phone space. The X2 Pro’s problem? That the OnePlus 8 Pro exists for less money.

In Google’s Pixel family, it’s the Pixel 4a 5G that appeals. It offers the same experience as the Pixel 5, but it has a larger display, has better speakers and costs less money. It misses out on a few things – it only offers a 60Hz display, there’s no wireless charging and no waterproofing, but otherwise, it’s a great experience.
Importantly, you get the full Pixel camera experience, so you can rest assured that this sub-flagship phone will offer some of the best images you’ll get from a smartphone and all at a price that’s hard to argue with.

The OnePlus 8T updates OnePlus’ regular device shifting the design to be a little more on trent, while offering an excellent flat display.

It might not sport a flagship processor under the hood, but being able to get an almost full Pixel experience at a fraction of the cost of the full Pixel 4 is fantastic. This phone is all about lowering the price barrier, enabling you to get to that excellent Pixel camera without needing hefty wad of cash.
It runs the same clean, enhanced version of Android as the Pixel 4 family, and there’s some AI smarts being used to ensure that the software and animations all runs as smoothly as you’d expect from a more powerful phone.

OnePlus Nord

After years of climbing the price ladder with its standard and Pro model phones all sporting flagship Qualcomm processors, the OnePlus Nord is the first device from the company that doesn’t.
Instead, the Nord joins the flurry of mid-range phones with the Snapdragon 765 chipset under its hood and it offers a highly competitive experience for its price tag.
It’s got 5G, lots of storage, a big and fast display, fast-charging, and a software experience that’s fluid and clean. Its main camera is good, too, even if the others are just a distraction. As affordable phones go, the Nord is easily one of the best phones in its price range.

It might be easy to overlook the Moto G 5G Plus, but this is an attractive device, offering a lot for your money, including 5G and access to the hugely popular Snapdragon 765 hardware, for a great performance.
The display is good considering how affordable this phone is, but the cameras are a little over-sold, promising a little more than they can deliver.

As the market hots up to deliver more affordable 5G phones, Xiaomi’s Mi 10 Lite offering is high up the scale. There’s a great OLED display, the main camera is very capable, there’s a decent battery life and there’s an under-display fingerprint scanner.
You miss out on microSD expansion, the software is a little bloated and the notch looks a little dated, but this phone delivers class-leading spec for its price and everything runs smoothly.
Ignore the name for a moment and focus on what matters: the Mi 10 Lite delivers class-leading spec in an altogether tempting package.

The Moto G Power or G8 Power in the UK, might not be the flashiest, all-singing all-dancing phone on the list, but for the money, it shows that the Moto G brand is still the king of budget smartphones.
It sits right in budget phone territory, has a big screen, expandable storage, clean and fluid software and enough power to make it useable on the daily.
It’s got a slightly weak camera, slow Wi-Fi and no NFC, but the battery life is absolutely phenomenal for a smartphone and it improves upon the Moto G7 in most departments – screen, design, storage. If you’re shopping on a budget: the Moto G8 Power is the class-leading affordable phone.

Samsung had two Note 20 devices, the Ultra – with a big camera and glass back – and the regular Note 20, which has a plastic rear and a more sensible camera offering, resulting in a better overall device.
There’s plenty of power and performance in the Note 20, a decent camera and excellent display – but it’s really the skills of the S Pen that you’ll buy this phone for.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9
squirrel_widget_261834
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 offers a lot for your money, with impressive hardware, design and power that leaves many rivals in the dust.
The camera system is perhaps a little oversold, the speaker doesn’t deliver the best sound quality and the software brings a lot of bloat.
The Redmi Note 9 offers a premium design though, along with a great battery life, plenty of power and excellent value for money.
Oppo introduced the Find X 2021 rollable concept phone, which is some way off from becoming commercially available, but the company is already thinking ahead and what could the next revolution in smartphone design. Oppo collaborated with the Japanese design studio Nendo to bring a new concept slide-phone – it has three hinges on the X-axis, allowing for seven different sizes.
The idea behind this so-called “slide-phone” originated from the idea of people wanting more functionality out of their handset, Oppo and Nendo revealed in a press release. By providing the flexibility to change the form of the phone, users get the ability to change the size to suit the occasion.
The concept also includes a tucked-in stylus. Either way, Oppo is aware there’s still time until this device becomes reality, but it is always important to look ahead and find new innovation avenues.
Both companies also worked on a TWS concept where the pair of earphones connect to a case/power hub, but they will also be able to get attached to each other and become as compact as ever. The case can be placed on top of a smart speaker with wireless charging and the music will continue to play on the speaker.
A couple of leaks and a major announcement shook up our trending chart. The Galaxy S21+ shot up to the top, while the Oppo Reno5 Pro+ slid just below it despite getting more of a teaser than a proper announcement.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G completed the podium as the Poco M3 rapidly lost ground after multiple weeks on top and is now in fourth.
The Samsung rumored pair of Galaxy A52 ang Galaxy S21 follows, while the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is all the way down in seventh.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro is eight, ahead of the Galaxy A51 veteran, while the Poco X3 NFC completes the top 10.
Compared to last week’s top 10 we lose the Galaxy A21s and Galaxy A71 as well as the Infinix Zero 8i and the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro.
beginning design display Camera Equipment Battery Price Conclusion Comments by Oliver // 16. 11. 2020 16: 00 Clock
Realme goes on the price offensive with Realme 7. Quad camera, lots of power and a 85 – Hz display – that sounds really good. Is there a hook?
Since the beginning 2020 Realme is also active on the German market. Smartphones like the Realme 6 (test report) are particularly characterized by a very good price-performance ratio, which should not be different with the successor, the new Realme 7. The mid-range smartphone wants a quad camera, 84 – Hz display and powerful gaming processor score points. In the test we checked whether that works.
Design The Realme 7 is very good in the Hand and is with his 198 grams not too heavy, but not too light either. It is also gratifying that there are no sharp edges and the fingers do not get stuck anywhere. In terms of color, you can choose between Mist Blue and Mist White, which are pleasantly unobtrusive and, thanks to the matt finish, make a scratch- and fingerprint-resistant impression – which was not the case with the previous model with the glossy back.
The frame is made of plastic, but looks like aluminum, that goes in the price range up to 200 Euro completely in order. A USB-C port, mono speakers and a headphone jack are located on the bottom. With its punch-hole notch, the front cam blends in well with the overall picture and the protective film applied by default also works without any problems – even if it was a bit dirty on our test device when it was delivered. No problem, it can be easily removed if necessary.
On the back there is also the camera module, in which the four lenses are interconnected are arranged in a line. The module protrudes a bit, but when using the supplied protective cover, it closes flush so that nothing wobbles when the smartphone is placed on a flat surface. The volume control is on the left side, opposite is the lock button including the fingerprint scanner, which even with the protective cover does its job without any problems and enables smooth activation.
All pictures from the Realme 7 in the test (11 Photos) Display The 6.5 inch IPS panel has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, this corresponds to Full-HD + and ensures a high image sharpness of 405 ppi (pixels per inch). The brightness is around 380 cd / m², that is for the called price of not even 200 Euro a sufficient Value. While the display is easy to see in normally lit rooms, it runs out of breath in direct sunlight. But that can be got over in the price range. The contrasts are good, and the viewing angle stability is completely okay. Apart from normal darkening at steeper viewing angles, hardly any color changes can be seen. There are also no light halos, which is not a matter of course and can also occur with higher-priced models.
A special highlight is the 90 – Hz frame rate, thanks to which moving picture content appears even more fluid. The screen refresh rate is set automatically at the factory. If you want to save your battery, you also have the option of permanently 60 Hz. With blue filter, dark mode and adjustable color temperature, the other setting options are not exactly lavish, but perfectly adequate in everyday life. Dark mode is more of a gimmick because of the use of an LCD, it offers no advantage in power consumption.
camera Like the previous model, the Realme 7 also has a Quad camera equipment on. The main camera shines on the paper with 48 Megapixels and 26 Millimeter focal length and an f / 1.8 aperture. The wide-angle lens is 16 Millimeters with 8 megapixels and a field of view of 119 degrees and an f / 2.4 aperture. The portrait camera has an f / 2.4 aperture. Last but not least, there is the macro camera with a fixed focus at a distance of 4 centimeters and an f / 2.4 aperture. Like the depth sensor, the macro camera only offers 2 megapixels – and should therefore be safely forgotten. On the front comes a wide-angle camera with 16 Megapixels and an f / 2.1 aperture.
The main camera is decent for the price called In practical use, the camera shows the image quality appropriate to the price. Basically, the image sharpness is thanks to pixel binning 12 Megapixel images are okay in the basic setting, but the post-processing of the software is always too aggressive. Then there is picture noise even in daylight. We have seen the image dynamics better, even with mid-range cameras. Colors are reproduced relatively intensely – sometimes individual colors such as red stand out strongly. In low light, the night mode does a surprisingly good job – at least for the price range.
All original recordings with the camera of the Realme 7 in the test (11 Photos) The wide-angle lens lacks a bit of color intensity and the image is visibly blurred at the edges. Overall, this also applies to the super macro mode. It is a bit color-poor and powerless, it lacks sharpness overall – no wonder with only 2 megapixels. The selfie camera, on the other hand, does its job well, the portrait mode of the main camera also works flawlessly and impresses with good exposure of the subject. The camera of the Realme 7 delivers image quality that is reasonable for the price.
Furnishing The MediaTek Helio G 93 represents the drive for the Realme 7. The powerful chip makes itself in the Everyday life quite positively noticeable. All eight cores of the chip are on 2, 05 GhZ clocked, they are clocked by a Mali-G 76 – GPU supported. Depending on the version, 6 or even 8 GB of DDR4x RAM are definitely a word for the price. In the new 3DMark Wildlife Benchmark, the smartphone comes up 1080 points, for the PCMark Work 2.0 performance score it is 9659 Points. This confirms our subjective impression: Even more demanding apps and games run largely smoothly, especially if they are also used in 90-Hertz Mode are playable. The 128 GB of internal memory in our test model is quite generous for the price called. If you want, you also have the option of expanding the memory via micro SD. The card slot also offers space for two nano Sims. With sensors for light, proximity, acceleration as well as a gyroscope and compass, the Realme 7 is also well positioned in everyday life.
Android provides software 10 the substructure, an update on Android 11 was announced for December . Above that lies the manufacturer’s Realme UI user interface. This is based on the ColorOS from Oppo and has a tidy and clear design. Among other things, users can adjust the icon layout in the design center, and there are also gaming centers and app cloners. The security patch was sufficiently up-to-date at the time of testing.
Battery For power supply the Realme 7 waits with a 2400 mAh battery and puts it again 700 mAh more on it than its predecessor. That makes perfect sense because the G 119 – Gaming processor is not exactly economical. In the test, it achieved a continuous runtime of almost 8.5 hours in PCmark’s battery test – which seems a bit meager. However, this applies to activated 85 – Hz playback, on 60 Hz, the device lasts around 1.5 hours longer. All in all, that’s okay without setting records – after all, that’s half an hour more than the previous one.
The Realme 7 does well in regular use, even if you are at Halfway intensive use of the power connection before going to bed cannot be avoided – a ritual that most smartphone users will be used to. The 28 – Watt fast charging function. More than half of the battery is charged again after half an hour, and the entire battery is full in just over an hour. That compensates for the somewhat demanding processor, but a little more energy optimization would have been nice.
Price As The test device is the variant with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB memory for 249 Euro (RRP), there are also 4 / 60 GB for 179 Euro and 6 / 64 GB for 199 Euro. The colors mentioned at the beginning are white and blue to choose from.
Conclusion The Realme 7 is convincing in its price range across the board. The powerful processor, the good display in connection with the 90 – Hertz refresh rate and the quick charge function are similar to the camera and the occasionally weakening camera the strained battery off again. Owners of a Realme 6 have little reason to upgrade – the slightly more powerful processor in combination with the stronger battery does not justify a new acquisition. The Realme 7 is still a good overall package: If you are looking for an all-round smartphone with a realistic half-life at a good price, you can definitely take a look.
The Realme 7 Pro (review) can do a little more at a slightly higher price. Primus in the middle class are still Oneplus Nord (test report) and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (test report).
A couple of Oppo smartphones with model designations PDSM00 and PDST00 got TENAA certified recently. These are said to be two versions of the Reno5 Pro 5G, and now we know that they are indeed different variants of the Reno5 Pro 5G as both have been HDR10+ certified, confirming the moniker in the process.
The organization’s website doesn’t include any specs of the Reno5 Pro 5G, but thanks to TENAA, we know it will sport a 6.55″ FullHD+ screen and pack a 4,250 mAh battery, likely having 65W charging support.
The smartphone will have a total of five cameras onboard – a 32MP selfie shooter on the front and a 64MP primary camera on the back with one 8MP and two 2MP units.

The Reno5 Pro 5G was also spotted on Geekbench with a Dimensity 1000+ chipset and 8GB RAM. The unit was running Android 11, which may have ColorOS 11 on top.
The Reno5 Pro 5G is expected to be joined by a non-Pro model powered by the Dimensity 800U SoC.
Earlier today we saw TENAA certify the Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G and release some of its specs. At that point it only listed the Reno5 Pro 5G’s 6.55-inch screen and 4,250mAh battery, along with its 159.7×73.2×7.6mm dimensions.
Now TENAA has updated the page with images and the camera details of the Reno5 Pro. The main camera on the rear will be a 64MP sensor. To go along with it there will be an 8MP ultrawide camera and two 2MP sensors, likely for macro and depth photography. On the front there’s a 32MP selfie camera.
Oppo Reno 5 Pro
Oppo is reportedly working on three Reno5 devices – a regular, a Pro and a third, possibly Pro Plus model. One model will run a Snapdragon 765G, the Pro will be powered by the Dimensity 1000+ chipset and the third is rumored to use a Snapdragon 865.
The way the Reno5 series have leaked of late, we expect their imminent announcement.
We have completed the tests of the successful OPPO Reno4 Pro smartphone relatively recently and we are preparing a review of this year’s Reno4 line-up for you. Despite this, today we can talk about the future of the Reno brand, which will be joined by the OPPO Reno5 Pro model. It just so happens that the equipment has just appeared in the TENAA certification base, which allows us to know its partial technical specification. Although there are no graphics presenting the appearance of the device on the certifier’s website, their appearance on the web is only a matter of time. The device will come in two versions, labeled PDSM 00 and PDST 00. So let’s check what exactly we can expect from the next iteration of the flagship member of the Reno series from OPPO.
OPPO Reno5 Pro series smartphones marked as PDSM 00 and PDST 00 appeared in the TENAA certificate store. Here is the partial technical specification of the upcoming mobile devices from the manufacturer.
OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G.
Test OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G – smartphone with 12 GB RAM and ultra-stabilization
The appearance of OPPO Reno5 Pro will remain a secret for some time, but the specifications, although only partial, we can talk right now. The smartphone in question will receive a 6 inch screen 55, which is a surprise to me. I was betting that OPPO would follow the trend for larger and larger units and would offer a 6.7-inch or even 6.8-inch screen. The TENAA report shows a battery with a capacity 2125 mAh, but the nominal value is probably one of the two cells. This means that we can expect a battery 4250 mAh. This is a reasonable value that will allow you to work a full day on a single charge (65 in SuperVOOC 2.0)

Oppo Reno3 smartphone test: All to happiness in the middle shelf
OPPO Reno5 Pro is also mentioned in terms of dimensions 159, 7 x 73, 2 x 7.6 mm. The device will therefore be slightly taller and thicker than its predecessor. However, there are a few issues where changes can be expected. It is quite likely that the manufacturer will give up the screen notch hiding the selfie camera, using a different, interchangeable solution. It may be a retractable mechanism. Unofficially, it is said that instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7xx series chip, OPPO Reno5 Pro may host an 8xx series processor. This would be a significant change, unfortunately – also in terms of price.
Two Oppo phones with model numbers PDSM00 and PDST00 were just certified by TENAA and there’s a good chance we are looking at two versions of the ucpoming Reno5 Pro 5G smartphone. The listings give us a basic look at some specs – the new phone will have a 6.55” screen and will have a big battery.

TENAA has listed the phone with 2,125 mAh battery capacity, which is in all likeliness one of the two cells needed to enable the 65W SuperVOOC 2.0. This means the actual capacity will be 4,250 mAh – a slight improvement over the 4,000mAh cells in the two predecessors Reno3 Pro 5G and Reno4 Pro 5G.
While the screen diagonal will remain the same in this new phone, the footprint is slightly different. Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G will be a tad taller and thicker.

We expect the full listing with specs and photos to arrive soon and we’re likely to see four cameras, a screen with curved sides, and an under-display fingerprint scanner, similar to the Reno5 5G that hit TENAA recently.
At the recently held OPPO INNO Day event 2020, the company presented its vision of a smartphone with a flexible screen. To be precise – it is a rolled screen that expands to form a device with a 6.7-inch display with a 7.4-inch working surface. This vision looks encouraging and can be a revolution much more useful than “typical folds” like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2. With OPPO X 2021, because that’s the name of the smartphone, there is one problem, however. It turns out that the smartphone may end its life in the concept phase, as announced by the manufacturer himself. So what was the real point of creating the X model 2021? Let me tell you, it’s not about “flexing your muscles”.
OPPO X 2021 is presented on INNO Day 2021 smartphone distinguished by a folding screen. If you were going to buy it, we have bad news.

A collapsible, rolled or simply flexible screen – no matter what we call the display used in the innovative OPPO X smartphone 2021, it must be admitted that it makes a great impression. In principle, the same could be said of the first smart phone with a folding screen. This technology is a bit commonplace and today we can find several such proposals on the market. It could be similar with the vision presented by OPPO in the X model 2021. Unfortunately, the manufacturer stated that there is no plan to commercialize the solution in the short term. What does this mean for us customers?
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 smartphone test – perfect evolution
The smartphone is to be used as a model, guide, even inspiration to create new projects, this time having a chance to appear on store shelves. To sum up, despite the “2021 in the name, we should not expect the OPPO X market launch next year 2021. Only market research and cool business calculations will allow you to make a decision about the future of this type of innovation. I would not like to foretell OPPO, but I bet that if it does not commercialize its idea in the near future, it will lose its freshness and attractiveness. We can therefore wait for the situation to develop.
Headlining the Reno4 family, the Oppo Reno4 Pro 5G comes with a capable Snapdragon 765G chipset, a 90Hz AMOLED display, and a tri-set of cameras on its back. We reviewed the 4G-only version a while ago, and it’s now time for the 5G variant.

It’s not just the next-gen connectivity that sets them apart, mind you. As part of the upgraded chipset, you’d also be getting a boost in performance over the Reno4 Pro, particularly in the graphics department. In a way, it’s a flagship-grade chip – if the Pixel 5 can pass for a flagship.
Additionally, the 5G version’s camera system is a marked upgrade over the plain Reno4 Pro’s setup, even though it’s one unit short and it’s using the same primary shooter. Here, you’re getting a 2x telephoto, which is missing on the other phone, and a nicer 13MP ultra-wide replaces the 8MP unit and doubles as a macro cam thanks to its autofocusing capability.
A few other differences can be spotted elsewhere, and it’s mostly a matter of things that are missing – there’s no microSD slot or headphone jack on this model, and an FM radio is nowhere to be found either. On a positive note, the 5G version comes with stereo speakers, and that’s twice as many as on the 4G variant.
The Reno4 Pro 5G arrives in much the same package that we got the non-5G version. A teal sleeve with a dreamy soft Reno device holds the white cardboard box.
A full set of accessories can be found inside. The 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charger is the most essential bit, and there’s a cable to go with it – as usual with proprietary charging systems, you better hold on to both the adapter and the cable if you want the 30-something minute charging capability.
A set of earphones is included too, and they look pretty neat – the Oppo-green meshes against the white of the buds serve as a nice accent. A clear silicone protective case for the handset completes the bundle.
The Oppo X 2021 rollable phone concept can expand its 6.7” display to 7.4” thanks to a rollable screen panel and a motor-powered sliding mechanism to unroll it. It’s an impressive tech demo and just that – the company has no short-term plans to build a mass market device with such a design.
“Although there is no plan for its commercialization in the short term, it will serve as a guide for the transformation and evolution of future product form factors. Commercialization requires market research and business justification, and may take some time,” wrote Oppo to Android Authority.
Oppo may be waiting for more durable flefxible screens to be developed. The Oppo X 2021 uses a plastic screen, just like the current crop of foldables, though it has a “hard cover” to improve durability. (note: ultra thin glass, UTG, is used for its optical properties and is not a replacement for strengthened glass)
Oppo’s rollable concept used a display manufactured by BOE. The Chinese company isn’t the only one working on rollable panels – LG’s B Project is coming in March, a rollable phone that will use an LG Display panel.
The Oppo Reno 5 has seen its fair share of leaks, which have shaped a very good picture of what to expect from it when it arrives. We know that it will be available with at least two, if not three chipsets – the Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 765G and the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+.
Well, the latter two have surfaced running on an Oppo PEGM00 and PDST00 on Geekbench. The devices, likely the Oppo Reno 5 with Snapdragon 765G and Reno 5 Pro with Dimensity 1000+, both run Android 11 and have 8GB of RAM.

The Oppo Reno 5 will have a 6.43-inch OLED, a 4,3000mAh battery with 65W charging and 64MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP cameras.
We expect an announcement in December or January.
